Free Music Review: Setting a new standard in Global Beats
Hit: 5 Stars

Afro is the first international release by four Lima born producers known as Novalima. For the last few years they have been on a mission to bring Afro-Peruvian music up to date in the same way as Nicomedes Santa Cruz and others did decades ago when the fragile existence of this music was fading. The result is magnificent. Its raw and acoustic but at the same time electronic. Dark but soulful. Deep and haunting at times. They are joined on this album by some of the finest Afro-Peruvian musicians on cajon, guitar and vocals giving every song a live feel and the album includes additional production on all tracks by Nitin Sawhney's and Da Lata's studio wizard Toni Economides. If you loved Gotan Project you will love this and in my mind these are much better worked songs, with greater diversity and depth. Absolutely superb.

Free Music Review: A GREAT ATTEMPT TO CREATE ELECTRO-NEGROIDE..
Hit: 3 Stars

I give Novalima credit for trying to emulate the electrotango movement of Argentina with traditional Afro-Peruvian songs. However, I think that the CD would have been better if it would have included more cajon rhythyms and more musicalization along with the lounge sound... But it's a very soothing CD. If you listen to it, it'll very enjoyable... This CD is not your traditional Afro-Peruvian music CD, but is very creative and it'll certainly lead the way for the development of a new wave of Electro-Negroide.
